If your question is: However that only catches packages which have explicit "Requires: <foo>" in them, the reality tends to be something completely different. For example: [root@cs65229 root]# rpm -q --whatrequires openldap openldap-clients-2.0.27-11 [root@cs65229 root]# ...but if you dig out all the things openldap provides and what packages require those: [root@cs65229 root]# rpm -q --whatrequires `rpm -q --provides openldap`|grep -v "no package"|sort -u autofs-3.1.7-41 evolution-1.4.5-1 gnupg-1.2.1-4 kdebase-3.1.3-5.2 kdelibs-3.1.3-6.2 libuser-0.51.7-1 nss_ldap-207-2 openldap-2.0.27-11 openldap-clients-2.0.27-11 pine-4.58-1.9.0asp samba-3.0.0-14.3E1 samba-client-3.0.0-14.3E1 samba-common-3.0.0-14.3E1 sendmail-8.12.10-1 [root@cs65229 root]# ...it's, erm, a bit different :-/ - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
